EntityHelper	helper() Returns a helper instance for this entity.
T	signal(Event<T> event) Signals the entity with the given event.
T	signal(Event<T> event, scala.concurrent.duration.Duration delay) Signals the entity with the given event after the given delay.
T	signal(Event<T> event, long time) Signals the entity with the given event at the given epoch time in ms.

Method Detail

getId

Serializable getId()

uniqueId

String uniqueId()

Returns a string that uniquely represents an individual entity in the database.

Returns:

signal

T signal(Event<T> event)

Signals the entity with the given event. ThreadLocal will be used to detect if an event is to self or not. Events to self are queued up to run synchronously after the on-entry procedure on this entity associated with the event is run and before the transaction is committed. Only after the transaction is committed successfully will the signals to other entities that were made by the on-entry procedure be sent.

Parameters:

event -

signal

T signal(Event<T> event,
         scala.concurrent.duration.Duration delay)

Signals the entity with the given event after the given delay. ThreadLocal will be used to detect if an event is to self or not. Events to self are queued up to run synchronously after the on-entry procedure on this entity associated with the event is run and before the transaction is committed. Only after the transaction is committed successfully will the signals to other entities that were made by the on-entry procedure be sent.

Parameters:

event -

signal

T signal(Event<T> event,
         long time)

Signals the entity with the given event at the given epoch time in ms. ThreadLocal will be used to detect if an event is to self or not. Events to self are queued up to run synchronously after the on-entry procedure on this entity associated with the event is run and before the transaction is committed. Only after the transaction is committed successfully will the signals to other entities that were made by the on-entry procedure be sent.

Parameters:

event -

event

T event(Event<T> event)

Runs the on-entry procedure associated with this event. No transaction is opened around the on-entry procedure. This method should be used for unit testing purposes only. Please use the signal method instead.

Parameters:

event -

helper

EntityHelper helper()

Returns a helper instance for this entity. The helper keeps track of calls to self and to other entities during an on-entry procedure and ensures they are run at the appropriate time.

Returns:
